The Prodigal Son’s Happy Life - Chapter 984

[Chapter 984: Do as Fang Xiu said]

Ma Wenhua looked at the young man and said expressionlessly: “Go back and tell your young master that this army garrison is an ancestral system, and it is not something he can change if he wants. This recruitment The new recruits require your Majesty’s consent.

I have also heard about the Nanyang incident. It is true that the imperial navy is too weak. It is only natural that Duke An wants to recruit some new soldiers to supplement the navy’s strength. It’s just that

if Your Majesty doesn’t agree, I can’t do anything about it, not to mention that the Ministry of War really can’t raise the money.

If An Guogong wants to recruit new soldiers, he can only find a way to raise the money. “

In other words .

In other words, His Majesty will definitely not agree to this matter.

If you want to ignore His Majesty, I can’t control you, but don’t even think about asking for money from the Ministry of War.

The boy had been with Fang Xiu for several years, so he could clearly hear the voiceover.

There was a thoughtful expression on his face, and he still said: “My young master said that if Ma Gong does not agree, then my young master will do it himself.” When

Ma Wenhua heard this, he slapped the table and stood up.

A pair of piercing eyes looked at the boy, but he was so angry that he couldn’t say a word.

Arrogant.

Too arrogant!

The boy just lowered his head and said nothing.

He is just a nobody.

It’s just a message for my young master.

Ma Wenhua also understood this, took a deep breath, calmed down his emotions, then waved his hands and said: “I won’t embarrass you. Whatever I say about this matter, you can go back and tell your young master. “

When the boy heard this, he bowed hurriedly and said, “Thank you, Mr. Ma.”

“Go.” Ma Wenhua waved his hand.

The boy bowed again, turned around and left the Ministry of War Yamen.

After the boy left, Ma Wenhua stood there without speaking for a long time, and his eyes flickered several times.

Although he was the Minister of War and a military general, he was not a nobleman. Although he had many friendships with Fang Xiu’s father, he was not serious enough to bear the charge of betraying the imperial court for him.

After hesitating for a long time, he decided to go to the palace and report the matter to His Majesty.

As a dignified military official, if you want to go to the palace, you naturally don’t need to prepare a few days in advance.

He said he was going to meet the Holy One and went immediately.

Of course, it is completely normal to wait for a while at the palace gate.

It took about one or two sticks of incense.

He finally arrived at the Yangxin Hall.

He walked to the front of Nuan Pavilion, opened the door and walked in.

“I see your Majesty!”

Ma Gong stood upright and saluted.

During this time, due to a reason that everyone knew but could not explain clearly, the ministers had not been able to see His Majesty for a long time.

At this moment, Ma Gong stood in the Nuan Pavilion, looking at His Majesty who looked slightly haggard in front of him, and felt a little strange.

When he saw this scene, he sighed secretly in his heart, but he didn’t know what to say.

No one could have imagined it.

The group of Wu Xun who usually only knew how to drink and visit brothels were so united this time that they actually restrained His Majesty the Emperor in such a small Nuan Pavilion.

It hurts.

Emperor Chu has not seen an official at the level of Minister of War for a long time. He raised his eyes and glanced at him and asked, “It’s Mr. Ma. What’s the matter?”

As he spoke, his eyes were filled with tears. Showing a thoughtful look.

There are people like Fang Xiu inside and outside the palace. In the past, when the ministers wanted to meet the Holy Emperor, some people could see him and some could not.

Generally speaking, it is not that easy for ministers and ministers to meet His Majesty.

However, this Ma Wenhua came to him easily.

Explain that Fang Xiu also wants to know about this matter.

Otherwise,

what the hell is going on?

His Majesty the Emperor of Chu was a little curious.

At this time, Ma Wenhua spoke: “Your Majesty, I want to report something to Your Majesty. Duke An Guo sent someone to the Yamen to find me early this morning. He meant to cancel these tens of thousands of troops.

Then use the money from the garrison to prepare a new army, adopting the standards of the Shenji Camp.”

When Emperor Chu heard this, his eyes narrowed slightly.

Are you ready to rebel?

But then I thought about it, if Fang Xiu wanted to rebel, he would not wait until this time.

You know, he has far more opportunities to easily ascend to the throne than the ministers imagined.

So, it’s the Wuxun Group who can’t stand it any longer and want to force Fang Xiu to take over?

This is not impossible.

Emperor Chu looked at Ma Wenhua and asked: “Why did Fang Xiu suddenly want to prepare a new army? Aren’t the grassland tribes already solved? That day Fang Xiu came to report the good news to me, and swore to me that within fifty years, all the grassland tribes would be defeated. The tribe will no longer be able to invade our great Chu.

If Qiyan Gong can continue to play his role, at most, there will be no grassland tribes from now on, only the grassland road of our great Chu.”

Ma Wenhua nodded and said. : “What Duke An Guo said is right. After that battle, the tribes on the grassland no longer had the power to invade. But

on the other side of Nanyang, a group of barbarians suddenly appeared. These barbarians came from the west, and their weapons and equipment were very good. Even the divine power and heavenly punishment are not lacking

.

They occupy many shops in Nanyang, and the products produced by An Guogong are sold to Nanyang, so “

this makes sense. “

Because of the maritime ban at that time, Dachu’s navy was always the weakest, even inferior to some of the surrounding small countries that had surrendered.

Not to mention Nanyang, I am afraid that the pirates in the Southeast Road are stronger than the navy of Da Chu.

There is no exaggeration in this statement.

After all, before Fang Xiu sent out the Shenji Battalion to vigorously suppress the bandits, the pirates on the Southeast Road were a big problem.

Emperor Chu had a thoughtful expression on his face.

After a moment, he waved his hand and said leisurely: “Since he wants to do it, let’s do it. Let him pay for the money to prepare the new army. If your military department has extra money, you can also support it. After all, it is for It is beneficial for me, Da Chu, to build a navy.”

When Ma Wenhua heard this, he was completely stunned.

This new army was prepared by Fang Xiu! And it still adopts the standards of Shenji Camp.

In other words, this is Fang Xiu’s private army.

Although the Sixteenth Guards of the royal court, the important generals in various places, and the Shenji Battalion are in the hands of different people, they all belong to the noble group.

The only soldiers that the imperial court could use were, to put it harshly, the only ones left were the police officers from various places, the garrison troops from various states, and the garrison troops.

Now even the troop garrison has been cancelled. What should we do if the Wuxun Group completely breaks up with each other?

His expression was very hesitant.

Emperor Chu seemed very calm, waving his hands and saying: “There is no need to say more about this matter, just do what Fang Xiu said.”
